"I find it funny that a fairly lo-fi garage band named a song after one of the biggest hi-fi bands in history. Anyone else get my sense of irony? On a related note, "The Anthem" is awesome. Don't diss it. I can listen to the Kidz Bop version and still get pumped up."  Reply

"This album is easily the best female teen pop album of the 00s -- better than britney, beyonce, avril or any of the others, even those that can actually play instruments like vanessa carlton and michelle branch."  Reply

"Pick out an individual track apart from the singles and they don't rank too highly or in fact make a lot of sense, but listen to the whole thing, for me for the first time in 1984, and it was something totally different. An album I still love to listen to now.....although I don't feel so strongly..."  [+]  Reply

"Good Lord! This was the biggest shock for me on this site: seeing how underrated and obscure this musician/poet is. For so many of my friends here in South Africa this guy was huge. Bigger than Bob Marley. Here's a story to demonstrate just how much he meant to so many White lefties in SA: My fri..."  [+]  Reply

"Camille Saint-Saëns’ “Danse Macabre" is one of my favorite pieces of music because it musically represents death so incredibly well. You listen to it, and it just sounds like death, it sounds like the music of the dead. Every sound in that piece sounds like it’s coming from a ghost itself. Not si..."  [+]  Reply

"Roy Orbison has always been one of my favorite artists of the 60's, and this album is one of my three favorites (the other two being "Crying" and "Mystery Girl").
